Conservative (and anti-Trumper) nails the hypocrisy of Joe and Mika in this op-ed:

As you probably know, I am very much on record about not being a fan of President Trump. I have also been extremely critical over the years of MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, partly for his support of Trump during the GOP primaries, and also for suddenly becoming a liberal sellout back when he got the morning gig at MSNBC. In fact, it is difficult for me to think of two prominent people who refer to themselves (laughably) as Republicans whom I loathe more than these two frauds.

The number one thing that many people are missing in this sad saga is that Joe and Mika are mostly getting exactly what they want out of this episode. In fact, I’m willing to bet that when Trump unleashed his first Twitter tirade on Thursday that they both at least smiled widely, and maybe even popped champagne corks.

But more important than the reality that this duo is hardly suffering from their alleged aggrievement, is how we actually got to this point. Joe and Mika have cynically benefited from the Trump phenomenon at nearly every plot twist (some have even suggested that there be a Special Counsel to investigate collusion between “Morning Joe” and Trump).
